Johnathon Schaech and Christina Applegate Split

By: Shannon Gossage

It was confirmed Tuesday that Schaech filed for divorce Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday citing irreconcilable differences. The couple released a joint statement saying, "After four years of marriage actors Johnathon Schaech and Christina Applegate have filed for divorce. The decision is mutual. We have no further comment at this time." Schaech has reportedly hired celeb divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser. Another one bites the dust.

Schaech and Applegate dated for four years before tying the knot in a small ceremony in Palm Springs on October 20, 2001. Schaech is a former model who made a name for himself when he appeared alongside Oscar winner Tom Hanks in 1996’s That Thing You Do!. He appeared in a number of indie flicks and starred in Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Party of Five spin-off, The Time of Your Life, which didn’t last too long. In March, he starred with his wife in the television movie Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas. He is next slated to appear in Road House 2: Last Call.

Applegate shot to fame at 16 years old playing airhead Kelly Bundy on the hit show Married…with Children. The show ran for ten years and then she had a number of less than memorable projects including movies like Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead and The Big Hit. She enjoyed a two-season run with her sitcom Jesse on NBC. She has also starred in movies such as The Sweetest Things and A View From the Top. She is currently starring as Charity Hope Valentine in the Broadway show Sweet Charity.
